For me, overcoming my cancer challenges has been a difficult and humbling experience. During this journey, I have had to face many personal and professional challenges.
After decades of success in my field, I was now struggling. I was no longer that valuable sought after asset who made a difference on my team. Now I was just a no name individual who was having difficulty just a landing an interview! This was my reality now. Yet I persevered through it eventually found my first opportunity.
My first job after cancer came in January 2018 at Loews, as a Lawn and Garden seasonal associate. It was a physically demanding low paying job with bad hours but I was glad to have it. That was one of several temporary jobs I have worked since. Each one equally challenging in their own ways.
One in particular stands out. It was a temporary position as a production line mechanic in a welding shop. This is a far cry from the team leader, technical trainer and respected specialist I had been known as for so long.
I persevered through these challenges and continue to move forward towards my goal of being a valuable contributing member of a great healthcare team. One that makes a positive difference in the healthcare industry.
I can only promise you this, I will reach my goal.
Sincerely,
Leslie R Hennick

LOL potato tomato either way I kind of miss those days. Something to sacrifice for. Or better yet someone. They don’t always make you do things that you will regret later in life. Even if you regret them at that moment.

LOL when I had a wife I would have had the spider a lot sooner if she would only agree that she would ride it when I wasn’t around so that it got some miles on it. She was intimidated and said no so I never got it. The things we do for the women we love. Lol
